Bronze 100 sounds more natural and has a wider sound stage while kef q350 sounds like someone is holding their hands around their mouth, I must add base is slightly more punchy on the kef while bronze sounds slightly clearer.
Love the MA,s 🏴 sound stage and higher frequencies much clearer and expansive - I have similar setup but with an old A-S501 everyday amp and Q Acoustics Sub reinforcing the sub tones and lower mids and the mix is both powerful and blended and balances the bronzes nicely - let’s face it at the price range these speakers sit in they are both winners but the MA,s just tip the balance for me for the wider less concentrated soundstage - good review and comparison 🎧
Monitor Audio sounds rather coarse and far less refined. There's something to say re. the mids in respect to 'openness ', but it's no match for the Q350's imo, far from it.
I've got a pair of the 100s. Had them hooked up in 7.1 set up to a Marantz NR1711 and they were very good now got them hooked up in a 7.1 Bi-amp to a Denon X4500H and wow, they are even better.
On the 2nd song, I hear more bass details, especially on the drums and symbols from the Bronze 100. On the first song the clarity and detail of the KEF for the female voice was apparent. Two different sound signatures for sure, depends on what you prefer.
They don't sound as different to me as the other comments here suggest. The KEF does have a fuller and more forward midrange and the MA has brighter highs, but I'd have to hear both with my choice of amp and my music to see which one I like better. If you turn the trable down a little on your amp with the MA, then they would sound even more similar
The Q350's have a warmer overall balance and reveal lots more midrange detail in a more natural way than the Monitor Audio Bronze. Vocals, guitars, everything sounds thin and bright on them, and again, too much metal dome tweeter sizzle. Some folks must really like that
Thanks for this. I'd like to hear the MA100 with the treble turned down a touch, just to see if they would lose that slightly too bright sound. The KEF have muh better mids but I agree with some comments that thye can sound a little muffled at times. Perhaps a test with the treble turned up on the KEF 1/3 and down on the MA 1/3. They both sound amazingly good on their own.
Le son de la paire de Monitor a une stéréo très large alors que la Kef dirige trop le son. Peut-être que le tweeter de la kef qui est au centre du grand cône et reculé de plusieurs centimètres avec un filtre de seulement de 6db par octave , donne ce son si particulier, comme si certaines fréquences sont réduites.
What all these sound comparisons say to me, both speakers for the money are great, the monitor 100s better value, £297 at the mo, cheapest i've seen the Kefs is £349. Sounds is totally subjective as per the comments below, some prefer one and others prefer the other. I suppose matching up a suitable amp and the sound helps. I have the Monitor 100s with the Denon PMA-600ne and can say they pair well!!!!
Kefs sound recessed especially in vocals, singer sounds like she's in a cave. Mas are bright, but more natural in soundstaging and image. KEF are going to be difficult, to more higher frequency responses, Mas sound really, really nice
Overall, have to go with the bronze 100, especially since one reviewer said the sound is generally slightly behind and above the speaker, which I like. Don't want a forward presentation.
MA are far better for the heavier, rock/metal type sound IMO. They are a bit like Grado headphones and provide that "live" sound that you'd get in a club with a live band. Are the highs a bit boosted and midrange forward? Absolutely. But attend a live rock show and tell me that the cymbals aren't a "bit bright" and the midrange isn't a "bit boosted" of guitars coming out of 100 watt marshall heads, lol
hola, excelente comparativa, cual adquirirlas para un DENON AVR S650H? Felicidades por tu canal y gracias por esas comparativas con las que se aprende bastante. saludos!
Pues puedes adquirir cualquier parlante solo que vas a a estar limitado a los 70w de salida que te ofrece Denon, pero la calidad no se va a ver decaída, si ya compras monitores de 200w o superior de potencia te va a qiedar sobrado y va a ser demasiado gasto, pero por el precio de esos no vas a encontrar algo en calidad similar, creo son los de partida para el precio.
I'm a huge fan of the KEF's uni-Q concept. The clarity is amazing, maybe due to a better phase characteristic with the centerdome? On the other hand, the MAB 100 is less prone to listening fatigue, maybe because of a subjective dip around 1-2 Khz (or that the KEF has a peak here)? I think both are very good, KEF a little better.
They have a fault though, they are either very hard to produce correctly or the Kef QC is lousy, because the woofers become damaged very easily, the internet and dealer sites are full of people with ripped woofers, some after playing a bit louder, others out of the blue. Even the LS50 is plagued by this problem.
KEF Sounds kinda boxy to me, everyone seems to like it more, or say it sounds more balanced and the bronze sounds bright. but I dont hear brightness or boosted treble in the bronze, if anything it sounds more flat. the Coaxial speaker design of the kef seems to be quelling the highs a bit.
Привет всем аудиофилам. Хочу тоже поделиться своим маленьким опытом, купил 2023 году себе эту акустику и друзья хочу сказать вам что очень доволен звуком.

At last found a sound test with rock music - guitars, drums, bass. I´m currently making up my mind on which speakers to pick up. THANK YOU!
Bronze just sounds brighter and bigger to me, Kef is like ´behind the wall´
thanks for sharing!
cleaning ears
The Kefs sound like a radio, the Bronze 100s sound like a good speaker should. No comparison.
beautifil KEF Q350. Palco sonoro bastante amplo e profundo
Kef q350 более натуральный звук плотный бас,monitor audio звучат ярче бас слабый.
Bronze 100 🥰

I would love to listen to Dali Oberon 3 in your comparisons.
I've got a pair of the 100s. Had them hooked up in 7.1 set up to a Marantz NR1711 and they were very good now got them hooked up in a 7.1 Bi-amp to a Denon X4500H and wow, they are even better.
The MA's have no mids and way too much treble! Definitely q350 is the far more balanced speaker here!
Bronze 100 has boosted treble, lean midrange and good bass. Q350 sounds more balanced, the better choice in my point of view.
Ya but the kef q350 the treble is harsh at high volume so for me I’d go for the ma100
On the 2nd song, I hear more bass details, especially on the drums and symbols from the Bronze 100. On the first song the clarity and detail of the KEF for the female voice was apparent. Two different sound signatures for sure, depends on what you prefer.
KEF Q350 for me. Sounds more natural, probably less fatiguing in a long listening session
👍
I can see that. I own ma silver 10, and certain music can be harsh in the higher frequencies.
They don't sound as different to me as the other comments here suggest. The KEF does have a fuller and more forward midrange and the MA has brighter highs, but I'd have to hear both with my choice of amp and my music to see which one I like better.

FANTASTIC DEMO! Thank you SUBSCRIBED!
Бронзы хорошо играют! Я купил себе Monitor Audio Bronze 100 ))
Какой усилок к ним рекомендуете?
Вч не пилят мозг ?
KEFs win💞
Kefs are flat the bronze 100 has more life
q350 more defined and forward, bronze 100 more bass wider soundstage
Monitor audio better, when i close my eyes when sounds better its them that are better
The Bronze sounds harsh and disconnected, the Q350 sounds more integrated. That wide soundstage on the Bronze is partly caused by that boosted treble.
I suggest testing Monitor Audio Bronze 100 vs B&W 607 S2
The Q350's have a warmer overall balance and reveal lots more midrange detail in a more natural way than the Monitor Audio Bronze. Vocals, guitars, everything sounds thin and bright on them, and again, too much metal dome tweeter sizzle. Some folks must really like that
both are close, bronze is bit more open.
На мой слух монитор ярче мне зашёл больше.но у каждого свой слух и вкус.
I much prefer the sound of Kef
Un essai avec la Monitor audio Bronze 50 est- il prévu ? Vs Kef q150 ou autre..
KEF better!
Warmer, full body and coherent.
Thanks for this. I'd like to hear the MA100 with the treble turned down a touch, just to see if they would lose that slightly too bright sound. The KEF have muh better mids but I agree with some comments that thye can sound a little muffled at times. Perhaps a test with the treble turned up on the KEF 1/3 and down on the MA 1/3. They both sound amazingly good on their own.
song selection is awful.
listen this on my kanto tuk Bronze sound better for me 👌
The KEFs crush the MAs, especially in the second song, there's absolutely no midrange in the MAs.
Kef wins... Ford me
Le son de la paire de Monitor a une stéréo très large alors que la Kef dirige trop le son. Peut-être que le tweeter de la kef qui est au centre du grand cône et reculé de plusieurs centimètres avec un filtre de seulement de 6db par octave , donne ce son si particulier, comme si certaines fréquences sont réduites.
Monitor Audio makes impressive speakers at their price points. I'm currently using BX2's but hope to upgrade to Silver 200 in the future.

Kefs sound recessed especially in vocals, singer sounds like she's in a cave. Mas are bright, but more natural in soundstaging and image. KEF are going to be difficult, to more higher frequency responses, Mas sound really, really nice
3 sec kef better
Could you review the Decware Model DM945 next? I think it would be a fantastic competitor for this class of bookshelves!
Bronze 100 👌
Overall, have to go with the bronze 100, especially since one reviewer said the sound is generally slightly behind and above the speaker, which I like. Don't want a forward presentation.
Kef избыточная вязкость, у МА недостаточная вязкость звука.. думаю на ma добавить низких и будет звук огонь
Kef sounds more direct and uniform. I guess that's the uniQ tech.
The Bronze speakers hit so hard through my TV speakers that it shook them. 🤪
Monitor audio more clearly sound
ELTAX MONITOR III VS BRONZE 100 🙏
Басы как-то не выражено, такое чувство, что про них забыли
With the second song; neither ...
who is the singer of the first track?
MA are far better for the heavier, rock/metal type sound IMO. They are a bit like Grado headphones and provide that "live" sound that you'd get in a club with a live band. Are the highs a bit boosted and midrange forward? Absolutely. But attend a live rock show and tell me that the cymbals aren't a "bit bright" and the midrange isn't a "bit boosted" of guitars coming out of 100 watt marshall heads, lol
KEF sounds better to me
MA all day long 👌🏼
Kef Wins🥇

2 of my Favorite speakers
Мониторы однозначно лучше.
Poor music choice for demonstrating any speaker. OVER SYNTHESIZED FILTERED POP!
Oh no, audiophile tears! Quick, don't touch them, they burn your skin!
@@eschultzz he thinks that majority listens some weirdo jazz and norah jones.
Great Britain Win!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Bronze 100 has clearer midrange, better bass, more highs. Q350 sounds just veiled, just like a LS50 on a budget.
бронзи лучше звучит однозначно кеf это миф
MA bronze plus de détails et de spatialisation
KEF Sounds kinda boxy to me, everyone seems to like it more, or say it sounds more balanced and the bronze sounds bright. but I dont hear brightness or boosted treble in the bronze, if anything it sounds more flat. the Coaxial speaker design of the kef seems to be quelling the highs a bit.
Kef как им и положено играют будто накрыты одеялом , что свойственно всем Kef.
They both need EQ
Привет всем аудиофилам. Хочу тоже поделиться своим маленьким опытом, купил 2023 году себе эту акустику и друзья хочу сказать вам что очень доволен звуком.
These are nice,but useless. Close your eyes and see if you can tell when the switches are made
